About This Guide

A Note from Aleksandra

I was born an artist. All of my life, I have worked with my
hands and have been intensely passionate about the world of colour,
light, shape and beauty. I grew up on a farm in Poland, and
searched for years to find something that enabled me to express
this passion.

I attended the European Institute of Art and Design in Torino,
Italy as the first step to my professional career as an artist. I
studied fashion design, and eventually became a professional
fashion designer.

I initially founded the first Permanent Makeup Studio in Ottawa,
Canada in 2008. But I soon discovered that very few spas were
offering eyelash extensions, something I personally fell in love
with.

Though the demand for permanent makeup was high, the demand for
eyelash extensions was astronomical. As soon as I hired and trained
another technicians, they were fully booked within a few weeks.

But, over the years, things haven't always been rosy. More and
more, I've noticed that unlicensed and untrained people are getting
into eyelash extensions. On one hand this is great, but for
consumers this can be a nightmare. I've seen it all, and finally
decided to share my secrets in this guide, to give everyone the
very basics of eyelash extensions.

Hopefully you will find it helpful, either as a consumer, or as
a budding professional. If you're interested, I'm literally always
hiring good people.
